Sleep naked, always. But especially if you're going through a low or no-sex period. Skin-to-skin contact satisfies the cuddle craving and allows hormones to pass through the skin to keep you both bonded.

GET IN THE MOOD: Get some bubbly, take a bath and see where it takes you [GETTY]

Start a sex jar. Each write down 10 things you'd like to try. Put all of them into a jar and pick out one each time you have sex.

Play the What If You Could Do Anything You Want? game. Ask your partner: "What's the thing you'd most like to do in bed that would surprise me? Then I'll tell you."

If they say there's nothing they haven't already done, tell them to make something up.

Believe me, people always have something up their sleeve and letting them pretend it's made up allows them to really let go.

PERK UP: Do it somewhere you don't usually [GETTY]

PERK UP ANY POSITION

Add pillows to make any position feel better, more comfortable, and more doable.

Drape rugs over furniture to cover pointy corners or on the floor to save you from scratchy carpet.

Turn around. Face in the same direction if you're side-by-side or she's on top. It's a simple twist that makes ordinary positions seem exotic.

“Sleep naked, always. But especially if you're going through a low or no-sex period”

Do it when you usually don't. An unplanned, spontaneous quickie wins hands down because it reminds us of how we had sex at the oh-so-easy start.

Do it somewhere you don't usually. Choose somewhere in your house that you haven't ever (or don't usually) have sex and watch your desire shift from a dreary "Do I have to?" to an excited "Yes please!" The idea is to christen every single room in the house (and outside) over the three-day weekend.

Try the stairs, great if height differences stop you from using certain positions.

In the bathroom you can stand up in the shower or ladies with legs apart, hands on the sink for support. Pretend you've got guests downstairs and you've sneaked in there.

In the laundry, try having sex on the washing machine while it's spinning.

Then there's the kitchen, the pantry, the garden shed - anywhere you dare!

TRANSFORM TIRED TECHNIQUES: Pay attention to your lover [GETTY]

TRANSFORM TIRED TECHNIQUES

Have sex with your eyes open. Unbelievably, 70 per cent of couples have sex with their eyes closed and only 15 per cent open them during orgasm, according to US therapist David Schnarch.

Most of us tune out our partner at a time that's supposed to be the most intimate. Make eye contact all the way through. It will be weird and, yes, you'll giggle but get past it and it's suddenly intensely erotic.

Mix it up every single time. Change one of the following elements each sex session you have: the time of day you do it, where you do it, what you're wearing, the position you choose, who initiates, what the focus of the session is, music/lights on or off.

Add a mirror. Mirrored wardrobe doors can be angled to provide a good view of the bed or use a full-length portable mirror which you can move into whatever position takes your fancy.

Have "sex spoil" sessions. Every few times you have sex, one of you spoils the other with things that you know they enjoy.

And remember, that's what they enjoy, not what you enjoy! It feels great to give as well as to get.

KINK: Do you know your partner's favourite things in bed? [GETTY]

TROUBLESHOOT ANY PROBLEMS

Take a sexual inventory to sort out any issues.

Do you really know your partner's favourite things in bed? You'd be surprised how much even good communicators guess about each other - and not terribly successfully.

Say you like something once and people assume you'll enjoy it forever.

Test each other by each writing a list of things you do already and like, would love to try, or would rather stick pins in your eyeballs than do.

They might include spanking, role play, tie-up games, blindfolding and talking dirty. When you're done, read out an activity to your partner, who has to guess which list it's on. It's an eye-opening exercise and you can action the things both of you like the sound of.

One great way to tackle sex drive issues is to magnetise each other. One of the main causes of tension in relationships is arguments about the frequency of sex. If that's you, try this simple technique to fix it.

All you need is two fridge magnets, each different. Each of you claim one as your own, then move it once a day depending on if you do or don't feel like sex.

If the magnet is close to the top of the fridge, it means you're extremely interested. If it's at the bottom, you'd rather be on dishes duty.

There's a temptation for the high-sex drive person to leave their magnet at the top of the fridge permanently and the low-desire person to weld theirs to the bottom but you're actually better off doing the opposite.

If both of you try to resist your "natural" inclination and deliberately hover in neutral territory (the middle of the fridge), you might find an interesting pattern emerges.

The low-desire person finally gets to be the first to instigate sex by inching their magnet above the always-up-for-it person, experiencing an erotic surge of sexual power.

The high desire person finally gets the equally exquisite glory of being seduced.
